Slides from my talk "#PHP 150x Faster, Still Legacy Friendly!" at #confoo are up. #FrankenPHP threads + Go semaphore = true parallelism for any blocking PHP code. Legacy scripts stay unchanged, just compose them. Kudos to @dunglas.dev , FrankenPHP rocks! gamma.app/docs/PHP-150...
PHP, 150x Faster Still Legacy Friendly
This talk explores how to push PHP to its limits using FrankenPHP and Swow, a sprinkle of PHP, and a dash of Go to orchestrate it all.

⚙️ Live from #IntPHPcon Munich! @johanjanssens.bsky.social is showing how FrankenPHP takes PHP beyond Caddy — into the world of standalone runtimes built in Go. Run PHP with no FPM, no Apache — just a single lightweight binary 💡 Modern PHP deployment redefined 🚀 #PHP #WebDev #DevOps #phpconference
🐘 FrankenPHP Beyond Caddy: Standalone #PHP Runtimes At #IntPHPcon, @johanjanssens.bsky.social dives into #FrankenPHP as a full PHP runtime in Go ⚡ 🔧 No FPM, Apache, or Nginx needed 📦 Compile PHP into Go binaries 🌍 Edge, container & embedded runtimes 🔗 https://f.mtr.cool/jvnxidmsha
FrankenPHP gained 1,000 stars in one week and is now listed among the trending repositories on GitHub 🤩! Let's help it reach 10,000!
Just got my invite to the P2P Summit: x.com/Pears_p2p/st.... Huge thanks to the holepunch.to team! Feels like the early days of #BarCamps and #FOSS. Excited to share my own work and help build a future true to the Internet’s original vision, decentralised, resilient, and built from the edges in!

Slides are wrapped ✅ for my talk @phpconference.bsky.social tomorrow. "No FPM, No Problem" will cover a bit of #PHP history but mostly offer a look into a bright future — building custom PHP runtimes with #FrankenPHP & Go. 🚀
Super fun session yesterday on building PHP plugins with WASM and @extism.bsky.social at @phpconference.bsky.social We ran 15 minutes over time — oops 😅 … but that's what happens when the room’s full of great questions and curious minds! Thanks to everyone who joined! #php #wasm

Afternoon energy at #IntPHPcon: 🤖 CI & PHP w/ @derrabus.bsky.social 🌐 WebAssembly w/ @johanjanssens.bsky.social & @kambo.bsky.social 🧪 PHPUnit deep dive w/ Sebastian Bergmann 🎨 UX detox w/ Henning Fries 🔐 GenAI security w/ Jeff Watkins #PHP #AI #WebDev #UX #Testing
One more demo for my talks at #PHPKonf 🇹🇷 and @phpconference.bsky.social 🇩🇪 What if ... you could minify JS, CSS, HTML, JSON, and SVG with #PHP, either inline or as #FrankenPHP HTTP middleware? @extism.bsky.social and WebAssembly make this not only possible, but fast enough to run on the fly. 🚀
Lining up a new demo for #PHPKonf 🇹🇷 and @phpconference.bsky.social 🇩🇪. What if you could write PHP extensions in #Go, #Rust, #JS, or even #PHP and ship them as cross-platform binaries? Very easy with @extism.bsky.social, and plugged into #FrankenPHP, things get fast⚡, flexible 🔄, and seriously fun 🎉
Another demo lined up for my talks at #PHPKonf 🇹🇷 and @phpconference.bsky.social 🇩🇪. What if #PHP could... transform HTML using good old jQuery syntax, via cheerio.js.org, powered by an @extism.bsky.social plugin? Yes, that means: jQuery in #WASM, called from PHP! 💥
Prepping demos for my upcoming talks at #PHPKonf 🇹🇷 and @phpconference.bsky.social 🇩🇪. What if #PHP could... 🚀 Server-Side Render (SSR) Web Components written in JS with enhance.dev, running as HTTP middleware via http-wasm.io, powered by @extism.bsky.social ⚡️ and #FrankenPHP 🐘?!
Next stop: Istanbul! 🇹🇷 Excited to be speaking at #PHPKonf about #PHP, WASM, and @extism.bsky.social. Talk is all about making 'what ifs' come true. What if we could write PHP extensions in JS? What if a @laravel.com app could be bundled as a cross-platform binary? Come and find out phpkonf.org! 🚀

@derickr.phpc.social.ap.brid.gy remembered you mentioned you worked on the PHP WASM playground for the docs. Do you know: runno.dev? If not, might be useful.
Runno
